A fraction of the fractional quantum Hall effect.
01 January 1989
Herein we review several of the milestones in the experimental studies of the fractional quantum Hall effect. These include the observation of a series of odd-denominator fractions, determination of the precision of the quantization of the Hall resistivity, measurement of activation energies for various fractions, the discovery of an even-denominator fraction, and aspects of the magnetotransport data which may result from the fractional charge of the quasiparticles.
